Due out next April is this Kotobukiya 1/8 scale figure of Kotomi Ichinose from CLANNAD. And before I forget to ask, why is CLANNAD always written in capitals?

Kotomi comes with bunny ear, scissors and violin parts to fidget about with. Retails for 5,040 yen.

Kyou, because she gives off that Tsundere vibe. Then again, Kotomi's voiced by Mamiko Noto...And I like Nagisa because she's voiced by Mai Nakahara...So yeah, I can't decide ._.

i mean kyou >.<

CLANNAD is in capitals because Japanese know the english capital letters better than lowercase.

I can't decide either! Danny that's a hard question to ask seeing all (or almost all) the CLANNAD girls are very likeable. orz

Aww jeez... I already decided I wasn't gonna get any of the CLANNAD figures... but now they show the dog ears on Fuko (my favourite btw) and bunny ears on Kotomi (my second favourite) which look really really cute... *SIGH* I may have to break down and get these -_-

niceee!! By the way, any1 mind to explain the names behind every anime figure. 1/8 scale 1/6 scale pvc pva blabla. I don seem to get it. How do you all tell the scale? Is it the quality of the figure or the height?

I'm not that knowlegeable.. 1/8 scale means the height of the figure. PVC is a type of hard plastic, I forgot the full name of it. you could wiki or google it yourself for further details.

Awww... it's so hard to make an option!! I wanted to click all XD
I haven't been buying any CLANNAD figures yet..

Hard choices, but I'm sticking to my beloved Kyou! Kyou-sama!! Should add Ryou to the list, she's moe-licious too.

1/8 literally means all the 'real' measurements are divided by 8. so every 1 cm on the figure is 8cms if it was lifesize.

And i'll have to say tomoyo, something about her is just cute.

I don't know what it is, but none of the figures released for the Key anime series have ever impressed me. It's like they lack the "life" that makes them more than just a hunk of plastic in my eyes.

I wish I could put my finger on exactly why that is.

Pretty damn good looking figure. I don't generally like figures of Key's work but this one looks quite good.

On the caps; um, author's artistic discretion?

Looks very nice, I like the facial expression, fits the character. But my favorite character is definitely Tomoyo.

Her expression isn't appealing to me so it's not on my buy list, though I don't watch Clannad so maybe her expression is always like tha.

The bunny/cat ears have just never done anything for me. In my opinion they ruin a good figure. Maybe I didnt have enough animals growing up? Lol.

Okay...they got me on the violin addition. The price isn't too bad compared to the others that we get these days. I'm really tied between Kyou and Tomoyo for my favorite girl. Both dynamic, one slightly more shy than the other.

I'm really confused between Tomoyo and Kyou like everyone else. Maybe it's their aggressiveness that makes them extremely cute?

Kotomi is cute, in the shy kind of way.

My fav is Kyou with Tomoyo a close second. Tomoyo is seriously lacking screen time, so I guess I am not sure yet if she would be my fav. I have been wondering why they wasted all that time on Fuko who seems the least interesting of all the girls.

Fuko rocks.

I have ordered all 4 figurines of CLANNAD.. Now this is a very difficult choice to make. Ordering Kotomi would make a nice addition to the CLANNAD family though =/

Why does she cut her hair while reading a book ? ^^

I know girls can multi-task (my GF reads magazines while brushing teeth) but somehow, this situation seems awkward to me...

Well, I saw Kotomi-chan in CLANNAD 11th episode, and I already had my target set for 08's Saimoe. Too bad not everyone share my views. This figure, is splendid.

Kotomi is one of the favorite of the clannad bunch, but I haven't gotten myself to go get any clannad figures yet.
